year time limit to complete the exams
which starts from the date of your initial

You can choose how you study, how
often you sit your exams and where you
get your relevant practical experience.
You can also choose between
afternoon and evening classes.

What do our students have to say?
“
PwC’s Academy has made a significant impact in my ACCA
career, and I surely would not have been able to finish my
examinations without their assistance! Their excellent teachers
have also assisted me in changing my study techniques and
answering examination questions.
Furqan Ahmed
“
I became an ACCA Affiliate in just one year and the Academy was
very supportive in my journey! They paid attention to not just my
strengths but my weaknesses too and worked towards it.
Everytime I made a mistake, the trainers ensured that I
understood the problem first before rushing for a solution and
guided me throughout the entire journey.
Lakshman Meyyappan
“
Choosing ACCA with PwC's Academy helped me move up the
career ladder. With my exemptions, I was able to fast track the
programme. This eventually landed me my dream job.
Varsha Kumar
“
PwC’s academy supported me throughout and that helped
increase my confidence in the subjects by explaining important
concepts through interactive learning and problem solving!

“
My favourite part of the ACCA lessons at the Academy were
the practical discussions. Our trainers always opened the floor
for students to ask specific and difficult questions regarding
'what if' scenarios.
Malvika Guntur
“
Having joined the ACCA course, I knew that I wouldn’t have the
‘college life’ most of my friends would be having all around the
globe. To my pleasant surprise, at PwC’s Academy I’ve made
great friends and some good professional relations. I joined the
Student Council and it has been a great experience organizing
events after events for all students at the academy.
Nishit Mehta
“
The trainers at the Academy deciphered complex topics with
real life examples which enabled me to get through all my
papers in the first attempt. I would say the academy has played
a pivotal role in my ACCA journey which has been challenging
yet fun!
Ann Mary Jobi
“
I chose the Academy because it is well known for its highly
experienced faculty. I can say I made the right choice as I
received great support from faculty and managed to pass my
exams in the first attempt!
